than we're spending to retrain our own workers all over america. 24 million americans unemployed or underemployed and yet we're spending $168 billion this year on afghanistan and iraq. again, i applaud the president for the actions he's taken, but quite frankly, mr. president, they don't go far enough. the president should have a faster timetable for our troops to get out of afghanistan. i've said is that publicly many times. if you really want to save some money, save that $1 million that it costs to keep one soldier in afghanistan and get them back here. we went to afghanistan to get the taliban out, get al qaeda out and to get osama bin laden. we got osama bin laden. al qaeda is no longer in afghanistan. and the taliban is gone. so what are we still doing there? why are we still there? why are we still spending about $14 billion a month in afghanistan? so, mr. president, again, we need a balanced approach. spending cuts alone won't do the job. i think the kweupbdz have -- i think the republicans have just proved this. republicans have proved that spending cuts alone will not get the job done.
